But there are two Tuesday night games in February: Utah State (Feb. 18) and San Jose State (Feb. 25). Both are 8 p.m. tips, which helps some. And Richeson’s office is already making changes for future weekday games, closing parking garages earlier to free more spaces.

“We are certainly taking precautions so it doesn’t happen again,” Richeson said. “But I’d encourage people to take alternate routes to campus, and to come earlier. They just have to anticipate that there is going to be traffic.”

Injury update

Not a good injury day for the Aztecs. Matt Shrigley spent practice riding a stationary bike as he continues to rehabilitate the ankle he sprained in the final seconds against Arizona. He remains questionable for Wednesday’s game against NAIA San Diego Christian.

Then James Johnson hobbled off with a toe injury late in practice. A few minutes after that, freshman guard D’Erryl Williams landed on someone’s foot and rolled his ankle.

Arizona rewind

After a few days to digest the 69-60 loss to Arizona (which moved up to No. 5 in the Associated Press poll), Coach Steve Fisher saw two glaring issues. One was not making the extra pass often enough. The other was rebounding, where Arizona had a 19-8 advantage in the first half.

“If I’m real honest with you, watching it live I didn’t think we got beat (on the boards) as badly as I did watching it on tape,” Fisher said. “We were just in survival mode from keeping them from getting it. I’m disappointed in that. I felt we would rebound the ball better.”
